11 Best Sugar Substitutes (the Healthiest Natural Sweeteners)

By Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DMN, CNS

May 9, 2019

An alarming fact: The average American is consuming 19.5 teaspoons of sugar every day and around 66 pounds of added sugar each year! (1) And while the consumption of refined sugar is on the rise, so are artificial sweeteners.

Artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, ACE K and saccharin have been debated for years in regard to their damaging side effects. While all of these sweeteners are technically “safe,” according to the FDA, they are coming under increased scrutiny because of their side effects. Side effects from artificial sweeteners range from headaches and migraines to shrunken thymus glands, impairment of liver and kidney function and mood disorders.

Refined sugars aren’t healthy either. Side effects of refined sugars include diabetes, tooth decay, obesity, heart disease, certain types of cancer and even poor cognitive functioning. (2) (3) (4)

Over the last few years, corn growers and affiliated associations have pushed high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as a natural sweetener. This is simply not true. The vast majority of HFCS is produced from genetically modified corn. Fructose is a simple sugar that is rapidly metabolized by the liver, causing a “sugar high.” Researchers believe this quick-acting sugar leads to increased storage of fat in the liver, resulting in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, digestive upset and atherosclerosis. (5)

So what is a good natural sweetener? Fortunately, there are many natural sweeteners that are healthy and tasty alternatives to refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. According to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, substituting healthy sweeteners — including blackstrap molasses, maple syrup and honey — can increase your antioxidant intake. This study shows that replacing 130 grams a day of refined sugars (the average intake) with healthy sugar substitutes can increase the amount of antioxidants you consume each day, in amounts similar to that of consuming berries and nuts.
